Patient's question:
On August 9th, I had varicocele surgery, a microscopic surgery. Today, August 22nd, I couldn't resist masturbating and didn't ejaculate. Half an hour later, I felt a severe (swelling and pain). Upon careful observation, there were bent blood vessels. An hour later, the (swelling and pain) slightly decreased, but it still persisted, forming into a knot. Hello, could there be a possibility of an outbreak?Doctor's answer:
As you described, after the varicocele surgery, it has been more than 10 days. Due to sexual activity, the sensation of swelling and pain has reappeared. This is because the surgical site has not fully healed, leading to swelling again. This is normal, but it does not necessarily mean the condition will worsen. It may lead to prolonged swelling and delayed recovery. It is essential to rest and avoid sexual activity again. At least for a month, this situation should not occur again. It is necessary to pay attention to increasing physical activity, avoiding prolonged standing or sitting, maintaining cleanliness, and preventing a damp state.
